The Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite is designed to conduct a sensitive search for isotropic cosmic infrared background radiation over the spectral range from 1.25 to 240 μm. The cumulative emissions of pregalactic, protogalactic, and evolving galactic systems are expected to be recorded in this background. The DIRBE instrument has mapped the full sky with high redundancy at solar elongation angles ranging from 64°to 124°to facilitate separation of interplanetary, Galactic, and extragalactic sources of emission. Conservative limits on the isotropic infrared background are given by the minimum observed sky brightnesses in each DIRBE spectral band during the 10 months of cryogenic operation. Extensive modeling of the foregrounds is under way to isolate or strongly limit the extragalactic infrared component. The current approach to these modeling efforts is described and representative present residuals are reported.

AbstractCosmic infrared background radiation, expected to carry the radiative record of luminous objects since they first formed, has yet to be detected. The Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite is designed to search for this primeval background over the spectral range from 1 to 300 μm. Initial examination of data from this experiment show that foreground radiations from the solar system and Galaxy dominate the diffuse infrared sky brightness, with relative minima near 3.5 μm and in the submillimeter wavelength range. DIRBE measurements do not confirm some previous data from rockets and IRAS. Preliminary upper limits on the cosmic infrared background are generally above theoretical expectations for pregalactic and protogalactic sources, and substantially above estimated lower limits based upon observations of external galaxies. Careful foreground modeling is required to reduce these limits or identify an isotropic residual.

I review the assumptions and observations that motivate the concept of the extragalactic cosmic background radiation, and the issues of energy accounts and star formation history as a function of galaxy morphological type that figure in the interpretation of the measurements of the extragalactic infrared background.

AbstractWe discuss anisotropies in the near-IR background between 1 to a few microns. This background is expected to contain a signature of primordial galaxies. We have measured fluctuations of resolved galaxies with Spitzer imaging data and we are developing a rocket-borne instrument (the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment, or CIBER) to search for signatures of primordial galaxy formation in the cosmic near-infrared extra-galactic background.
